Hola John,
Great o see you made it out to San Marcos, I love it out there.
And yes, Guatemala us not bad at all, it's the getting back part...
If you still in the area, go to Todosantos above Huehuetenango; great mountains.
We will be in the area for a couple of days
Now taking off for the border

From San Agustinillo we went to Huatulco , another place I haven’t been to in over 30 years . What a shock !!!!! where we used to sleep in our sleepingbags right on the empty beach of Tangolunda, there is now one resort next to the other . I am so happy to have had the chance to see these places, before mankind screwed them up, big time .

Anyway, the sunrise is Tangolunda are still as beautifull as ever, even if this time I saw them from my hotelroom in the 4th floor and not from my sleepingbag on the beach

We are at the waterfalls El Chiflon, close to Comitan. It is hard to get any closer to Guatemala without crossing the border.
Our last night in Mexico...many strange and powerful feelings...
We are both very emotional today,a cocktail of feelings...
We are very thankful and conscious about how lucky we are
I better shut up now

GRACIAS A LA VIDA , QUE ME HA DADO TANTO

After reading this it is sinking in for me as well!! For the past 10 months I've followed you either on ADV or on my Harley . This adventure has reduced my work productivity greatly because I just sit and daydream while looking at your pictures. So.... I think your hike with your sons should just be another chapter of your RR then just carry on after that with more pictures of my future destinations!

The day of the Virgen de Guadalupe is a big holiday for the Catholic world , but especially here in Mexico .
Almost everybody is out , running long distances,many times barefoot, carrying a torch until they get to some church, far away from their hometown .
Riders are no exception , they become pilgrims as well !
Here some pics that I took in San Cristobal de las Casas

Leaving San Cristobal in the morning we should get to our last stop in Mexico before lunchtime, the Cascada del Chiflon.
A series of several waterfalls , being the velo de novia the biggest one .

It was the first time on our journey, that we were not riding by ourselves . My good friend and longtime riding buddy Jean Luc had come up from Guatemala to San Cristobal to welcome us and to join us on our last part of the ride .
Mercí mon amí !

Our indoor parking in San Cristobal

And here some pics from the spectacular waterfalls

And than our goodbye committee showed up , by the thousands !!!! In Guatemala we see the appearance of these birds as a sign of good luck, good omen

GRACIAS MEXICO , you have been nothing but good to us !!!!
You gave us new friends, great food and you have let us see some of your most spectacular places .
GRACIAS Y HASTA PRONTO !!!!!!
